What is the fiber tail material ? And a source please. Thanks for the pics and info.

Where do you get your UV glue and can you buy the gallon?.

That's EP fiber and you can get it at:

EP(R) FIBERS - Enrico Puglisi Flies

It's also available on Amazon.

I'm using Mr. Resin UV glue from Amazon. The type I have is low viscosity which makes it more difficult to get a good body shape since it runs more. I've got some high viscosity that should be here today and will likely work better for the purpose. It looks like it's available in a gallon size for $39.

Thank you for the information. We are in the future. Going to try something a little bit more or less difficult to put on a jig head like you do but more of a rounder body and I want to paint on the side of it. Also, we’re thinking about using our regular plastic and painting it and then re-definite and clear to get the same effect but I’m very interested in the UV Because you could be used to do many different things. Such I do tie flies in other stuff that we can use it for, but thank you for the information. ?
The paint that we will be using is a type they use on leather and Naugahyde we printed on the regular plastic like what you see in Bobby Garland, or other plastic baits and it works.

Snake River, I like some of the ideas you posted previously and may start trying some. Such as wrapping the body of various materials like Crystal flash,

I used some glitter on a head the other day. It came out pretty well.

It appears to me that clear monofilament thread works best for the base and tying off. That allows more light to shine through.

This jig uses pink thread underneath the UV. It doesn't produce the glow like when using monofilament.

There are some plastics I painted with the acrylic leather paint and then I re-dip them in clear again, but you can use the acrylic leather paint to paint your bodies and then overcook them again with the UV. Also, you could wrap your bodies in Chanel in overcoat them with the UV glue. You will get a different look completely. I already start experimenting with soft text..

Those look great!

They inspire me to want to continue on with this path.
